Claire, our tester, was impressed by the packaging. It was easy to open and clean. She found it to be one of the simplest and most efficient pieces of baby equipment to put together. She tested it on rough terrain and was amazed by its performance.
Seats
The majority of triple buggies begin as single pushchairs. However, some models can be converted to accommodate an additional seat by using adapters. Some models allow you to add an extra board for older children who are ready to walk but need some help.
Take a look at the Joie Evalite Duo for a lightweight option perfect for city streets. It's a breeze to move and comes with a large basket that has plenty of storage space. It can be used for twins beginning at birth and can accommodate two car seats, or a carrycot that has a seat. The seats must face toward the forward direction and there isn't space to store an item under the seat. You will need a sidepack.
Mountain Buggy Duet will be the best choice if you enjoy off-road driving. It's a side-byside model with the smallest footprint of any double buggy available on the market. It's much easier to get through narrow doors, on public transport and to climb over and up kerbs. It also has a handbrake on the handlebar that can be adjusted for more security and safety.
Another lightweight choice is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 Double, which can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby. The seats have a multi-position reclining with UPF 50+ sunshades. The canopy can be adjusted to ensure that the sun does not get into your child's eyes. The Vista 2 can be converted into a triple by adding UPPAbaby’s "PiggyBack" board, which is designed for older children.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are among the most well-known on the market. This is due to their exceptional comfort. It's an all-terrain model with a soft suspension that is able to handle bumpy surfaces. It can accommodate a massive 30 seating configurations and has a built-in ride-on for older children who prefer walking plus a 'cinema seating' mode which raises the back seat to improve visibility.
Alternately, the phil&teds dots is a fantastic single buggy that is available from day one that can then easily adapt to take 2 (or 3!) in various configurations. This is particularly helpful if you have an infant in a car seat, because the frame can be fitted with a wedgie that allows for optimal lying flat, or car seat adapters to a wider range of brands.
Suspension
The suspension of a double 3 wheel buggy will determine how easily you and your child/children are able to push it. A smooth ride is crucial as babies can feel every bump in the road, particularly if it's on rough terrain such as grass or dirt roads. Some models have front tires that lock to assist in maneuvering and getting over obstacles like curbs.
Some models come with air-filled tyres, which provide a fantastic all-terrain adventure, but they could be susceptible to punctures, therefore, make sure you have spares in the trunk. Some models have gel or foam tyres, designed to withstand bumps and can be less prone to punctures, however, you might find them to be a bit stiff and uncomfortable on your child's back when you decide to run.
Our award-winning side-byside duet buggy comes with a superb suspension that will get you over any terrain easily and comfortably, making it the perfect buggy for city walks. You can even upgrade the duet with our dual kit in order to accommodate two children - all in the same compact footprint!
MFM reviewer Kath took the Urban Glide 2 through its paces with her newborn and 3 year old son, and found it coped really well on tricky terrain: "it navigated effortlessly over grass and bumpy pavements cobbles, dirt tracks and cobbles easily and was able to manoeuvre around corners and get up and down kerbs. It's also very enjoyable to jog on, thanks to the 16" rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels providing a safe running experience." The Urban Glide 2 has a variety of features, including a large seat unit with a padded cover as well as a hood that has 50+ UV protection and easy-to-use and rechargeable lights.
Folding
A three-wheel double buggy could be folded up neatly to be stored. There are models that fold flat, stand up (as as if they were the form of a pushchair) and those that open to reveal a more umbrella-style folding, with a hand-operated break. The more wheels the buggy is equipped with, in general the easier it will be to maneuver through rough terrain. This is particularly relevant when the wheels are bigger than average. This will provide you with more stability and decrease the likelihood that your children will fall over or tip over.
A popular option is the iCandy Wave, which can be used as early as birth with an infant car seat. It transforms into a side-by-side double buggy once your child is old enough for them to be seated next to each other. It's a light-feeling option, which makes it easy to push and comes with extra features, including raincover and a bumper bar.
The phil&teds sports is a different option. It is a future-proof model as it is brilliant as a buggy that can be altered to accommodate two (or three!) in its small footprint. It features a clever three-wheel design with an sling to improve manoeuvrability and stability.
If you're looking to run with your children, this is the best double buggie for jogging because it comes with a lockable swivel front wheel that can help you remain in control when tackling hilly or off-road tracks. It has a large undercarriage, a movable handlebar, and a soft suspension to provide a comfortable ride.
3 wheeled pushchair 's a light, compact option that folds with one hand. It is perfect for traveling. It's compatible with numerous infant car seats, and comes with a handy undercarriage basket to store your shopping. It's on the expensive side but does have several standout features that make it an excellent option for value, such as its simple one-click fold, and numerous extras like a bumper bar and raincover.
Storage
One thing that a lot of people love about a quality triple wheeled double buggy is its storage capabilities. Some models, like the Roma Atlas, have a large basket and two zip pockets on the hood that you can store your phone and keys. It's also designed for dealing with rough terrain, so it's a great choice for family walks or all-terrain walks.
Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and flexibility to transport twins or two toddlers and a child. (This is made possible by their 'PiggyBack' board). It's the smallest side-by-side double on the market. It also features impressive features, such as LED lights for visibility which are located on both sides of its frame to increase safety in low-light conditions.
If you're looking for something different, the Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight buggy that can seat twins from birth (it's open to the world and features a lie flat position). Its clever frame expands to accommodate an extra seat, but still weighs only 11kg. This makes it simple to lift and move. It can be used with a car seat, carrycot or both. This lets you get the best of all worlds.
